What a lovely family he has! Although he also had a lot of problems with his health back in the day.
Strongman legend’s only problem
Back in 2017, Thor suffered from Bell’s palsy. It is a condition where paralysis occurs on one side of the face. As the facial nerve on one side of the face is inflamed, the brain is unable to get a response, which leads to this condition. This also causes half of the face to appear expressionless.

“…That I have caught some virus called Bells Palsy which causes half of my face getting paralysed. It can last from a week to a few months apparently. So please keep that in mind if you come to Europe’s Strongest Man tomorrow and get pictures with me that I’m not in a bad mood I just can’t really smile for pictures haha!
Other than that I feel good and look forward to battling it out with the guys for the Title of Europe’s Strongest Man 2017 and putting on a great show for all you guys!” -Halfthor addressed his situation through an Instagram post.
